I'm leaving the country on Thursday also, but forget the sedatives

Postby Yumie » Mon Jul 11, 2005 3:10 pm

Well, I'm going with Osaka-onee-chan to the Dominican Republic on Thursday, and I was just going to echo what she said on her thread until I read it. When I read it and figured out that we're looking at it in two entirely different lights, I figured I'd better just go ahead and make my own thread (way to make things easier on me, Osaka. . . *shakes fist*)

Anyways, I'm really not all that nervous or stressed out. Unlike Osaka, I have no problem telling the VBS lady that I'm sorry, but have too much on my plate to help her, and that there are 29 people other than me going who have nothing to do who would be glad to help her out. I do have a bit to do packing-wise (mainly, I need to START DOING IT), but I'm not anxious about that either. I don't know if it's God helping me or me just being an idiot, but I'm absolutely just laying back and resting in the fact that I know God will take care of me and that he'll help me get everything done.

However, there is one thing I'm nervous about. . . flying. I wasn't at all nervous about it up until two weeks ago when I had a bad dream about it at camp. I don't remember too much about it, just that I felt like I was holding the plane up with my mind or something and that if I relaxed it would crash, :lol:. I think maybe in the end it did crash, like I said I don't remember. It's funny in a sense, but it also leaves me feeling a little uneasy. I'm afraid I might freak out a little when I'm boarding the plane. And darn it, I want to enjoy my first flying experience! So please just pray that I'll get everything done, that I'll keep trusting God, that tomorrow we'll get all our skits worked out (Osaka and I are going to be two of five clowns! He he!), that everything will go smoothly while we're down there, that I'll let God use me the way he wants to, and overall I'll come back closer to God then when I left.

Thanks!

Well, I am pretty much just going to repeat what I wrote to Mangafanatic, I think it applies to you too. :grin:

Have a good time on your trip. Don't worry about going on an airplane, I have been on several, and I can tell you that they are an incredibley safe and effective way to travel. Just remember to "always do your best in everything you do, but always trust in God and he will see you trough." I will be praying for you to have a safe trip, and a good time there, (Lord willing a very effective time ministering there too!)

God Bless

You can run, but you can't hide. . .

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Like I said to Osaka, I hope that you also have a great trip. If you go there with an open heart, I know y'all will touch the lives of many. I pray that the Lord will help lead y'all and that you two use this a a great learning experience.

I'll be praying for ya. :thumb:

Good luck! :) We'll all be praying for you and Osaka-chan ... and your luggage.
